Hello Ralph, I'm not sure what the term is, but I use CTRL-X to stop a process that seems to just hang in the terminal. Like endless loops etc..
Ok thanks for the -mtrace tip. I ended up going back to try to workout my table using tbl, since although HDTBL was working in a virgin document, when i copied the code into my main document it would hang. I'll try again with -mtrace as I really like the syntax of HDTBL - it's very familiar when you know HTML and for me , a much more intuitive.
